About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center has issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of Red Hat software licenses and maintenance services to support the GenISIS (Genomic Information Science) Project under the Million Veteran Program (MVP). The VA awarded contract NNG15SD70B to STANDARD-BLAZAR, LLC on May 15, 2025, for $163,773.99, utilizing FAR 6.302-1(c) brand name statutory authority through NASA's SEWP V Governmentwide Acquisition Contract. The sole source justification is based on Red Hat being the only software fully compatible with the existing high-performance computing research infrastructure that hosts over ten petabytes of data and supports more than 300 researchers analyzing genetic samples from one million volunteer veterans. The VA conducted market research reviewing alternatives like Ubuntu Server and SUSE Linux but determined that only Red Hat can provide the necessary proprietary maintenance and support for the critical research infrastructure. The procurement involves renewal of four types of Red Hat software subscriptions essential to maintaining the HPC environment, with the contract value not exceeding $750,000 and conducted through limited competition among NASA SEWP V GWAC resellers.
